    No OS or frugal save files on sda2, but many ISO files, naturally. I don’t mind doing all my editing in ROX as root, because it makes sense to me. The directory I wish to edit has been transferred to another hard drive several times, as a hard drive fails or is replaced by a larger hdd. I’ve noticed that the permissions for the directory cannot be changed (persistently) with ROX as root, and the permission is currently set to “a+x (Make excecutable/seachable)”. If possible I want to keep the owner as root, not user, and perhaps I need to change permissions from terminal to make ‘u+rw (Give owner read & write)’ persistent.
    ‘ls -l’ for the directory shows ‘drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 18:52 Index’.

    EDIT: I’m guessing that Permissions revert to a+x by default, after the permission changes are set and confirmed. If I could figure out why ROX as root won’t open the geany file, that info would go a long way to understanding the problem, and/or finding a good workaround. I have to be careful about changing the entire sda2 drive, because the data is in TBs.
